FIRST YEAR STILL LIFE
LUCILLE SAUER
Through the inspiration
and guidance of the Misses
Agnes and Jessie Hamilton
the art education movement
was started in Fort Wayne
in 1880 in their carriage
house, which was turned in­to
a studio and exhibition
room. In addition to bring­ing
exhibitions to Fort Wayne,
two of our outstanding Indiana artists were brought
here to start this cultural project, namely: J. Ottis Adams
and William Forsyth. Through the efforts of these men
and the unfailing interests of Fort Wayne citizens to
support this project the present organization has
weathered over fifty years of experience to emerge a
stronger and more serviceable ins ti tu ti on each year.
Since 1921 the Fort Wayne Art Association has been
housed in the former residence of Theodore F. Thieme,
which Mr. Thieme gave to the city along with many of
his paintings to form an excellent nucleus for building
the museum. Through the foresight and generosity of
THE ART SIHOOl
this civic-minded person the organization has been
able to provide a very worth while cultural center.
Supplementing the instruction of a selected faculty
are the current monthly exhibitions of national and lo­cal
importance. The art museum's activity provides
an excellent opportunity to study first hand many his­torical
and contemporary works of art.
Continued success of our graduates in all phases
of art expression is due to the splendid foundation
studies they received in the art school. Two years
of preparation, careful guidance and personal interest
of the faculty in each student's problems and welfare
has enabled these graduates to establish themselves
in prominent positions.
Practical and professional artists of wide experi­ence
and teaching ability have planned this founda­tion
course which quickly develops the talents of the
students. Individual daily instruction makes it possible
for instructors to personally know and evaluate the
work of each student. Ample opportunity is allowed
students to test their personal talents and special in­terests
in their chosen field.

THE DAY SCHOOL
The Fort Wayne Art School provides an oppor­tunity
for the training of professional artists in draw­ing,
painting, commercial, sculpture, and design
under the guidance of experienced instructors. The
aim of the Art School is to develop as quickly as
possible the student's ability to express himself
graphically, and through close personal association
with the instructors the student has every oppor­tunity
to progress rapidly.
The Day School courses are divided into two
sections, the first year or General Course and the
second year 'Jr Departmental. All beginning stu­dents
are required to take the general course or to
have had its equivalent before entering the second
year. Third and fourth years are devoted to de­tailed
study in chosen fields.
FIRST YEAR (GENERAL COURSE)
All classes in this year of general study are of
equal importance in giving the student the technical
preparation and professional background necessary
before beginning specialized training.
The general course provides a foundation in
drawing, painting, and•-modeling as well as an un­derstanding
of the principles of design, line, form,
tone, color, and the technique of the various media
of expression. In addition to the foregoing, students
analyze works of art in the field of painting, sculp­ture,
and the industrial arts. This is achieved
through a series of lectures on the history of paint­ing,
architecture, sculpture, and decoration. Other
required subjects in the First Year course include
drawing from the antique, anatomy, composition,
still life, lettering and poster.
This preparatory and carefully organized gen­eral
training of the first year properly accomplished,
even if carried no further, is of cultural value and
as a basis for specialized work saves the student's
time and helps him determine the direction of his
talents.
